This guide provides managers with an overview and principles to apply when handling GDPR and data protection requirements to ensure they play their part in complying with regulations governing its safe handling
In recent years there has been a huge change in how we ‘process’ (store, handle and move) data. Managing such large volumes of data carries risks to companies if it is not done so correctly.
Management of data by you and your team is likely to be an important part of your role as a manager. If it is not managed properly, the company could suffer financial loss and reputational damage. The company could be fined or reprimanded by the Information Commissioner’s Office (ICO) / Information Commission (IC).
And while care needs to be taken of all data, extra care needs to be taken with personal data (data on any individuals).
This guide is designed to help you manage your team to meet the requirements of data protection legislation.
